A Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce For All Your Holiday Needs

Pull out the hot cocoa and marshmallows. It’s time to gather around the fire singing carols because holiday season is around the corner.  

Unfortunately, for most of us broke and confused college students, holidays can be more challenging than cheerful. Not only are you expected to hold conversations with adults you pretend to know about your future (which by the way, you don’t know either) but you have to buy everyone gifts. 

Have no fear, here’s a way to impress the family and have a heartfelt homemade gift for anyone. All it takes is this simple salted caramel sauce recipe and maybe a cute mason jar to hold your treat.
